Hulk's cameo in Thor: Ragnarok is Marvel's way of letting the green Avenger have his own movie, says Mark Ruffalo

The latest issue of Total Film is out now and positively swollen with Thor: Ragnarok delights, including a mischievous little jab from the incredible Hulk himself, Mark Ruffalo. The Hulk has a starring role in the upcoming Marvel movie's trailer and will face Thor in combat in Ragnarok.

"It's Marvel's way of letting Hulk have his own movie without pissing Universal off," Ruffalo teases in the Total Film feature. He is, of course, referring to the fact that Universal currently holds the rights to a solo Hulk film.

"Marvel does a great job of letting directors bring their ideas, vision and style to this movies so they can be wildly creative and unique," he continues. "No two are the same, and for Banner and Hulk I feel like we have been able to cover a lot of ground to make them feel alive and fresh."
